Make things short, been in limp mode for 2 months now(the day i meet the tuner to get tuned for an 02 Wideband install) I've replaced MAF sensor, fuel filter, tried a different set of spark plugs. Here recently just the past week i decided to spray out my Prodrive 3-port BCS, to try to clean it and see if that was the issue. Well make the story short, i drove to work after doing it and i was able to hit my boost target, 22psi.. When i got off work 9 hours lately i was driving home and car went back into limp mode?! WTF. I've tried cleaning it out 2 or 3 times since then and using silicone lubricant, wd-40 and it still didnt work. So i decided to order myself a new boost solenoid. Grimmspeed 3-port. Installed it earlier today and it didnt fix my problem!!

What could be the issue here? Wastegate, turbo? or wiring?

Just seems odd that the first time i sprayed it out it worked and now it took a shit again, even with a new bcs.

Any input would be helpful !Thumbs Up!Thumbs Up

You are tuned for the 3 port bcs right?

No CEL's?

BTW...When you clean a BCS, you need to use something less "invasive" like MAF cleaner or the likes.

What are you hitting on this "limp mode"?

Yes i now have new codes also. I included a screenshot of learning view. Thanks for the heads up about cleaning the bcs. I am only hitting 13psi then going to limp mode, limp mode being 6-7psi.
